		The Government is currently asking people for their views on plans to outlaw age discrimination in the workplace by next October.
		It will also mean that a number of everyday examples of age discrimination will be outlawed, including an employer telling a worker they are too old to go on training programmes, and a bar on advertisements specifying upper age limits for applications.
		Despite the fact that new legislation in 2006 will outlaw reference to age in job adverts, ageism is still rife at present.

	Ageism
		Ageism often intersects with and can be reinforced by other kinds of discriminations such as racism, sexism, and "able-bodied-ism" (where preference or greater social value is given to people who do not have impairments or disabling conditions).
		Ageism is also perpetuated by the ways in which our society talks about older adults.(12) It is common to see ageist language in medicine, law and social sciences, when terms like “the elderly” and “the aged” are used to refer to older adults.
		Ageism is apparent when a jurisdiction enacts a protection law that takes away abused people's rights to make choices about their lives based solely or primarily on their age.

	Save the Young—the Elderly Have Lived Their Lives: Ageism in Marriage and Family Therapy - )
		Ageism, like other forms of bias that devalue and stereotype particular groups of people, permeates societal attitudes and values and is suspected to influence perceptions and attitudes in both overt and covert ways (Bytheway, 1995; Schaie, 1993).

		The term "ageism" was coined in 1969 by Robert Butler, the first director of the National Institute on Aging.
		In general, the consequences of ageism are similar to those associated with all attempts to discriminate against other groups: persons subjected to prejudice and discrimination tend to adopt the dominant group's negative image and to behave in ways that conform to that negative image (Palmore, 1990, p.
		A final consequence of ageism is that by devaluing this segment of the population, a vital human resource is lost.

	Resolution on Ageism
		WHEREAS ageism is defined as prejudice toward, stereotyping of, and/or discrimination against any person or persons directly and solely as a function of their having attained a chronological age which the social group defines as "old"; and
		WHEREAS psychologists have documented the role of ageism in assessment and treatment of older adults, the degree to which aging does (or does not) affect human behavior and performance, the effects of age stereotypes, the extent to which ageism is a factor in workplace discrimination, among other concerns related to age and behavior; and
		"Ageism" is a term developed by Robert Butler (the first director of the National Institute on Aging) in 1969 and is defined as "a systematic stereotyping of and discrimination against people because they are old" (Achenbaum, 1985).

		Ageism is a deep and often-unconscious prejudice against the old, an attitude that permeates American culture.
		Older people themselves often unconsciously embrace unfounded assumptions that to be old is to be sick, that they shouldn't "bother" their physician by bringing up health concerns, or that "you can't teach and old dog new tricks," regarding changing health behaviors.
		Ageism is not something that we can just accept or ignore, and unfortunately, and it is not something that will just go away.
